I have a Nissan Quest 1995 (6 cylinders) towing capacity is 3500pounds, Do you guys think it is safe to tow a Searay Seville 1987 with a I/O engine. I QM TOWING IT TO 5 MILES RAMP FROM MY HOUSE<br />weigh around 3000 pounds

Re: Nissan Quest

Get your rig weighed (ready to go weight)before you attempt it. The vehicle MIGHT handle it, but if you exceed the tow rating and something haappens, you are liable.

Re: Nissan Quest

DJOHNS19 is right on the money about weighing it. Once you have that starting point and are close to your limit, remember you can tow with 1/2 tank of gas on the boat instead of full (as long as the marina has a pump). Each gallon is approx 6 pounds. Being a front wheel drive, make sure you have an extra transmission cooler installed and service the tranny every year. Check the trailer brakes and keep your distace when towing.<br />Good luck getting to your favourite spot and back!

Re: Nissan Quest

Thanks for the reply, the other thing I was concerned about is the height of the vehicle, does that cause a problem?
